Study of Conductance of the Ionic Association Phenomena of [Ni(phen)3]Cl2 in Different Solvents and Different Temperatures

Abstract

Conductance measurements of [Ni(phen)3]Cl2 in water, methanol and ethanol at (280.16-318.16K) are reported. Limiting equivalent conductance (), association constant (KA) and distance of closest approach of ions (R) are calculated. The experimental data were analyzed by means of Lee-Wheaton conductivity equation that gives detailed information on ion-ion and ion-solvent interaction and also to obtain thermodynamic information of ion association and examining the nature of the interaction.
